RG, thanks for the info... I just wondered if you asked Sleepydave what they were charging. I agree that a sleep study is a valuable tool, but given the very high cost they need to be used judiciously and must work to achive the most accurate results. Maybe your personal experience suggests that patients be sent home with a cpap set-up allowing them to get used to the equipment prior to their having a PSG.
Sincerely,
wading thru the muck of the sleep study/DME/Insurance money pit!
